I
still got quite a few unpainted minis in the Slice of Americana box from Blue
Moon.

This
one is just finished and it’s fantastic little mini, so full of character.

She’ll
be great as a bystander in a game of Pulp Alley.

I
need some assassin-types for Pulp Alley, already have a couple painted but
need more. This GCC Agent from Mercs: Recon had to do. An extremely fast
paintjob to have a figure if needed. Nothing much to brag about, but he will be
able to do his nefarious deeds.

Blood
Rage is the next game I will paint figures for, and it’s really fun as the
minis are just fantastic, the game’s got a great theme (who doesn’t like
Ragnarök?) and it is without a doubt one of the best board-games I got.

I’ve
already painted quite a few minis, but now I’m concentrating on finish everything for that
game.

First
of the new batch is Fenrir, one
of the mythological monsters that you can recruit to your clan.

A
huge miniature that turned out real well.

I painted two other wolves, both from the Reaper Bones range, while I was in wolf-mode. One is large, a worg or dire-wolf, while
the other is two-headed.

The
sculpts are okay, but really nothing more, and the two-headed one needed
green-stuffing as there was a rather prominent gap where one of the heads were
pre-glued to the rest of the body.

Jens
from 3D-Print-Terrain is back, and this time with something completely
different from what we are used to.

If
you play Commands & Colors then this might just be for you, especially if
you like your Napoleonics. If you don’t play that game then there is a free
rules-set to use with these printable figures and terrain, your when you pledge
all in (at €40)

Anyway,
the kickstarter will get you the printable terrain tiles and units you need for
a game.

3. I
only count what I get this year
(i.e., the odd box of kickstarted stuff that happen to land on my doorstep
doesn’t count if I bought it 2017 or earlier, but stuff I kickstart this year
does count, even if it isn’t delivered).

4. If
I sell or give away stuff that counts as a minus

5. Terrain
doesn’t count

If
it wasn’t for rule #3 I would certainly loose as I expect kickstarted World of SMOG: Rise of Moloch, Shadows of Brimstone and more to arrive
this year.

I plan to have a group-shot for each month, but as all Conan-minis is at the club now, there will be individual shots of what was painted. First Belit's Guards from Conan

Hyaenas from Conan

Lots of Picts from Conan

Two modern cops from Hasslefree

So,
January summed up:

Bought:
0

I
painted 20 Conan figures and 2 modern minis, for a total of 22

Sent
to the For Sale-box at the club: 39 Mercs minis and 1 Reaper Bones, for a total
of 40.

I’ve started to look through my rather large stash to find those minis
that never will be painted, could be because I’ve got multiples of them or because
I just don’t like them. They are destined to the For Sale-box. There will be more, that's for sure.

We’ve
seen lots of modular dungeons and buildings, most of them OpenLOCK-compatible, just like this
one.

But
these modules are modular, which is really clever. You print a skeleton that
you can dress in different, printed, skins. That way you minimize print-material
and -time and get really effective storage.

There is also a beast-pledge where you'll get a large handful of suitable monsters to populate your dungeon with.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
